Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley

To save and enhance the lives of the young people of our community.

Since 1966, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley has saved and enhanced young people's lives in our community, especially those with economic and/or social needs, by offering a safe haven and meaningful youth development services provided by a caring and qualified staff. BGCofCV's 55-year unparalleled history of improving young people's lives residing in eastern Coachella Valley exhibits our success in designing, developing, implementing, assessing, and managing youth development programs and services. The success of our programs led to expanding our services, wherein the Indio Clubhouse became one of seven sites serving thousands annually, ages 7-18, residing in the low-income, underserved communities of Indio, La Quinta, Coachella, Mecca, Thermal, Oasis, and North Shore.
